I used them for a couple of years a while back and never had a problem with them. If you're on the cheap package, post your game back on a Wednesday to be in with the best chance of getting a new release. Good advice for any rental company you go with.

Think I've realised their turnaround simply isn't on Lovefilm's levels. Actually more likely to buy than rent most of the games I want from the rest of this year due to the nature of said games, so I won't be able to properly judge their new release service for a while yet I imagine.

I may be being a bit harsh harsh as I haven't really been with them for long at all.

So, to qualify for the free trial you have to have a minimum 5 released games in your list.

This is a little frustrating if there are not 5 games jumping out at you, as it stood i mustered up Rayman Legends, Saints Row 4, Xcom Declassified (the new one), Payday 2 and then got a bit stuck and put down Resi 6 even though I didnt really want to play it.

Guess what game i got sent? Yep. Resi 6.

Sent that back Tuesday and my account has been sitting with no games dispatched since then which is more than disappointing.

I will persevere though as I really want a rental service for the games that don't quite get the cut for outright purchase but my guess is that these guys won't be as good as LoveFilm for games rental dispatch speediness. They're twitter feed is awash with similar comments from other subscribers.

You could have just added the games you really want, and then filled in the other spaces with games a while away from launch? I mean I've got Destiny on mine for example. Might not have made it obvious but you can also list the titles in order of priority.

Even so it's been over 48 hours with no other game dispatched which is pretty poor and certainly isn't making me feel like I will continue my subscription.

My game time is that limited that I only generally have one game on the go at once. Once the dust has settled with the next gen I'm going to have a good long think as to whether I will actually invest.

Does anyone know why lovefilm (amazon) stopped doing game rentals, also what happened to all the 1000's of games they must have had. I still keep thinking that at somepoint they will introduce the service again for next gen, seems madness not to.

Re rentals I'm thinking BB for mine, bro-in-law uses them and speaks very highly about it.

I'm going to try BB but the reason I got the trial with Boomerang when i did was as a stop gap before GTAV hit and I really wanted to play Rayman, SR4 or the new Xcom.

They were listed as a 0-3 day wait for dispatch, I cancelled on my 6th working day without a game. I was then informed that due to an influx of subscribers they were struggling to meet demand which is all well and good but...

UPDATE THE FRICKIN' WEBSITE SO AS NOT TO MISLEAD CUSTOMERS.

Anyway, they have lost a customer and I most certainly would not recommend them personally.

This lot are getting the new Batman to me for release, which is decent.

Went back to them because Blockbuster haven't been very good.

Happy to stick with them if they can continue to prove they can cope with the extra demand since Lovefilm quit games. Number of things to like about Boomerang, not least the fact that it's easy to cancel subscriptions there unlike Blockbuster and Lovefilm.

Blockies sent out an email apologising, blaming the recent sloppyness on Lovefilm stopping game rentals so a recent influx of demand, but saying they're increasing stock of games. I don't actually have any of these rental services, how are Blockbuster a pain to cancel with?

I signed up to a trial but cancelled it 10mins later. It looked like anything remotely popular from the past 6 months was excluded from the trial and I couldn't find anything that I wanted to rent.

I could be tempted to give it another go. What's the availability like on recent titles for paying customers?. eg: PS4 Assassin's Creed/NFS Rivals/ - PS3 Stick of Truth/Dark Souls 2. I don't want to pay Ł9.99 a month to sit on a waiting list.
